INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD

After what seems like years of waiting I've finally had an interactive whiteboard installed in my class room. It is a Hitachi running Starboard. My class was so excited and were entertained just writing their names using the different colours. We also tried out www.Starfall.com and they quickly got the hang of it. Any great ideas for using it would be gratefully received! Continue

Our Class Website

Hi I am a teacher at Willunga Primary School in South Australia. As part of our schools "Digital Revolution" we have been encouraged to make class websites. I have signed consent from all parents to use their child's photos on the web and ensure safety by not having individual names next to photos or using surnames. I take photos and snippets of video during the week and work with the students who tell me what to write. Parents love being able to keep up with the daily happenings of the class.… Continue

I love free stuff!

These are the freebies I have ordered from Vistaprint this summer. All were free. I just paid shipping from within the US. It's probably more from outside. :(

These are business cards I'll give the kids for bookmarks in our reading workshop.

These are business cards I'll use f… Continue

A way to Integrate Technology in the Classroom!

Hey guys! My name is Michelle and I’m an intern at a company called ePals. We offer a great free program called In2Books that I thought you might be interested in hearing about. In2Books is a free e-mentoring literacy program for 3-5th graders in Title 1 schools (where at least 40% of the children in the school are from low-income families.) Each student chooses five books from five different genres which are carefully selected by a team of children’s literature experts. The students are then ea… Continue

more useful websites with free resources

Hi everyone Have a look at this site (Oxford University Press). It has sightwords, bingo cards, memory snap games for the most common 100 words taken from Australian student's writing. I haven't been able to read the research yet, so I can't comment on its validity BUT the resources put with it are timesaving. And it is free!!!!! It is aimed at Australian and NZ, but the generic nature of the games should make it useful in the US. Site is www.oup.com.au/thesuccessfulteacher Sue Continue

Meaningful

Oh, I've been neglectful. I have been reading, though. The Reading Essentials book has completely reinforced everything I've been doing, which, of course, is based on everything I've been reading for the previous couple of years. Here are three favorite quotes from the book that I've taken the time to write in my journal - so far: "Continually ask yourself when planning work for students, How is this activity helping my students becoome more independent as readers, writers and… Continue

Reading Essentials by Regie Routman

I got this book today at the bookstore. Barnes & Noble is my favorite place to be. Of course it's a bit more relaxing when Benjy isn't running up to me to see if he can buy a book about Star Wars, even though he already has one at home. Or Camden isn't barging into me to ask if I'll buy him a stuffed elephant and a book to go with it. Still, I found this book that I'd been hearing some great chatter about online and pi… Continue

inspiring day?

I've been to taekwondo three times today. At 11:15 I went to the all-rank class, which means I jumped, kicked, punched, and yelled with a bunch of black belts and scarcely a belt below my yellow rank. I went at 5:00 for my older son, the brown belt on-his-way-to-red, for his class. And again at 7:45 for the leadership class. Why did I sign up for leadership??? Well, the cool (I should say HOT) heavy-weight uniform with my name on the back is pretty nifty. And the red collar is particular… Continue

OK, I'm gonna do this.

I'm gonna ~~attempt to~~ DO this blog! It can't be that hard, right? I mean, I'll be here every day or so. I'll find cool ideas to inspire my teaching in my travels around the net. Surely something will be blog worthy, huh? That said, I leave you with this, one of my favorite resources for reading/literacy: The Reading Lady's website. I could get lost in there! Continue

I have come out of hiding!

Hello to Our Wonderful Members. I am finally back looking at the wonderful world rather than a computer screen. We have been very very busily transferring all of our members resources over to our main website. So now all our terrific members can access their downloads from www.k-3teacherresources.com instead of having to go to the members site. It is much more user friendly for everyone and I hope you enjoy the change. We are still keeping the… Continue
